Legends of the Sky: The Jenny

Episode 1 of 1

Travel back to the era of the early aviation pioneers as they competed to build a newer, better, and faster aeroplane for America just as the drums of war were sounding in Europe. The JN4 "JENNY" aeroplane became the first mass produced aerial trainer, the first to carry the U.S. Mail, the first to introduce America to the sky through its colorful barnstorming story, and the plane that taught such greats as Charles Lindbergh and Amelia Earhart to fly. A combination of stunning HD aerial footage, historic newsreels and photographs, interviews with aviation experts and more bring the long-lost story of the JENNY to life.
